Lyrics to Taxi

Lyrics to the song Taxi as recorded by Bryan Ferry.

(Banks/Brooks)

Taxi take me to the other side of town
Just as fast as you can
Taxi before my baby puts me down

Please won't you hurry
You see she's got me worried
I don't wanna lose her love
Cross town is too slow
Hitch-hiking's a no no
She's all I'm thinkin' of

Taxi I've got some catching up to do
Taxi like a fool
I broke her heart in two

Start your meter running
get your engine humming
I just want to see her
Just want to see her
Pedal on the metal
Tonight I'm gonna settle
I deceived her, and I know it grieves her
Taxi
Taxi

Taxi take me to my baby's place
Just as fast as you can
Taxi you've gotta get me there on time

The freeway will be quicker
And no man's gonna get her
I'm going out of my mind
She's why I'm living
And this is why I'm willing
To run red lights stop signs
Just get me there on time

Taxi take me to the other side of town
As fast as you can
Taxi before my baby puts me down
I don't wanna lose her

Taxi, Taxi, Taxi, Taxi, Taxi, Taxi, Taxi,Taxi.
